Request: Extend album format support

[brendan-pike]

I like the new album format displays. Can this be extended somehow to show more details, eg.
SACD, Vinyl, MP3 etc etc.
One album I have is 24bit - 176.4kHz but the file media is tagged as SHM-SACD (2 channels) but its only shown as 24/176.
This info would be welcome on the Album and Now Playing view also.

Hello brendan-pike,

I have solved this as follows:

you only have to change the following 2 lines in the

/include/library.inc.php

at the very end

Function calculateAlbumFormat

line 3519

Return "CD";

after

return $album_information['audio_dataformat'] . ' ' . "CD";

and

line 3536

return $album_information['audio_bits_per_sample'] . '/' . round($album_information['audio_sample_rate']/1000,0);

return $album_information['audio_dataformat'] . ' .$album_information['audio_bits_per_sample'] . '/' . round($album_information['audio_sample_rate']/1000,0);

sorry

return $album_information['audio_dataformat'] . ' ' .$album_information['audio_bits_per_sample'] . '/' . round($album_information['audio_sample_rate']/1000,0);

Thanks marcbth

I've modified as suggested, it's a nice addition. Its a pet theme of mine and I'm sure poor Artur gets tired of hearing about it :) but for me I like details. Relative to this item for example I would like to know the original source format not just the file format, for example a flac file may be 24/176 but this may of been a HD file download, a SACD rip, or even a Vinyl/LP rip into that 24/176 file which you can't tell unless you inspect the files 'media' tag.

For example I have an album News Of The World by Queen, which is 16bit 44.1 FLAC and in media I can see the original source was a "SHM-SACD (2 channels)" and I will at times have multiple copies of the same album from different sources.
